One of Walla Walla Valley winemaker Tanya Woodley’s early efforts with her proprietary Beet Red blend came in 2007, when she combined Cabernet Sauvignon (67%) and Syrah. Her latest effort marks a return to that combo and the same ratio; however she reaches beyond nearby Les Collines Vineyard with the inclusion of Gamache Vineyard near the Columbia River. Its plummy nose comes with chocolate-covered blueberry and notes of coffee and black pepper. The pour is round, rich, approachable and youthful with a plump fruit-forward structure of plum, blueberry and Marionberry.
